 * Reason:It's a nice fountain during the rest of the year, but in the winter, when frozen over like this, I think it's particularly striking. Here, taken on one of the coldest nights of the year, to me it almost looks like something out of a fantasy film. It's a Quality Image on Commons and there's encyclopedic value in that it's a good image of a notable fountain (Josephine Shaw Lowell Memorial Fountain) at, in my opinion, its most visually interesting.

 * Oppose Daytime image more encyclopaedic. This image does not improve value of article Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:16, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Support – I thought about the nighttime lighting issue, but those lights shining on the ice make for an interesting composition – and the darkness reduces the distraction of a cluttered background. Sca (talk) 14:56, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose structure of the fountain cluttered by icicles. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:35, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose – perspective distortion on the right side is heavy, and I find the busy background distracting. Bammesk (talk) 15:13, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose – Cool picture for sure, but the icicles obstruct the view of the fountain, so it would have low EV. Mattximus (talk) 15:07, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
